| Additional information |
Tanagra's coinage from this decade falls directly within the aftermath of the Battle of Oenophyta in 457 BC, when Athens seized control of Boeotia and held it for roughly a decade. Whether this tiny fractional piece circulated under Athenian occupation or was struck in a brief window of renewed local autonomy remains contested — the chronology of Boeotian civic issues during the 450s is genuinely unresolved. The BCD specimen noted in Hesperia supplements remains the principal reference point for attribution.
